"Through Christus Ministries, I have found genuine, honest friendships that will be alive and deep for the next 30 years. I have a community of people who are truly invested in building a home for young adults in the Catholic Church."

[Casa Building] has helped me understand that we should in our lifetime do the most we can for the lives of others.

“I discovered another layer of love, which is much more deep, stable, and meaningful …”

After the Caritas Retreat, I returned to Sunday Mass after a long hiatus. There is now a gentle stir deep in my belly to seek God, and to belong to him. My heart is opened to greater community. 

I have found peace within myself through forgiveness and self worth. I have fallen more deeply in love with God and my faith. My church community has become my support system. 

“Our hearts were at a fragile state where we had torn each other apart, living in a false sense of love. The Caritas Retreat revealed and healed so much, building our hearts anew and showing us a greater sense of what loving really means."

“How I understand love will never be the same.”

I felt like I was tasting Catholicism in a new way. Continue experiencing my journey to God as a community.

"IT HAS BEEN A HUGE IMPACT ON MY ROAD TO HEALING...i don't think i would still be in the church if it wasn't for caritas."

I have found peace within myself through forgiveness and self worth. I have fallen more deeply in love with God and my faith. My church community has become my support system. 

"I'M A LOGICAL PERSON. I'VE REALIZED I DON'T HAVE TO UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING, I CAN JUST LIVE IN GOD'S LOVE FOR ME."

"CARITAS HAS HELPED ME TO LOVE MYSELF AND TRULY SEE MYSELF AS A BELOVED CHILD OF GOD."
